My son got a new DSi last week, so we’ve been checking out all the applications. He’s having a blast recording his voice and playing it back. He’s taking pictures of everything, himself, the dog, whatever’s going by when we’re riding in the car…
We checked out some of the online applications, and the store. I’m trying to figure out how to download books to either the DSi or the DS Lite. If I can figure it out I’m going to adopt his DS Lite.

I love our local children’s hospital. They’re very attentive to the needs and tastes of the kids they serve. That includes having some of the Kidszpace activity centers (some of which feature Nintendo video games) in the waiting rooms in …read more

Here’s your chance to get a Wii for free from Toys R Us. The toy giant is taking advantage of the upcoming release of the new Wii from Nintendo and of the current fame of the Deal or No Deal game to launch a contest in which shoppers can try to win a Wii.

Parents know that games and play are critical for kids. They learn all sorts of things while playing from concrete skills such gamesmanship and rules to a general appreciation of how to relax and have fun.
Game technologies have also been useful in healthcare. When you see all the great ways games are being put to use in managing health conditions such as diabetes, maybe you won’t think all the hours your kids spend playing could be put to better use. In fact, maybe parents should be playing too (I know my husband is) and training …read more
